you are over thinking it. just get hydraulic, you won't regret it.
myth busters: hydraulic brakes don't spontaneously self destruct miles away from home. should they blow up unexpectedly, at least you have a front and a rear. what are the chances of BOTH exploding? are you going to carry two cables with you to fix a cable brake?
